Limited Representation

Limited Representation

Your local pro bono coordinator may have asked you to handle a client’s matter on a Limited Representation, or Unbundled, basis. This means that you will not represent the client throughout the legal matter, but will handle certain elements of the case for your client. (Example: your pro bono client is handling her own Dissolution of Marriage case, but needs help negotiating a Separation Agreement. You enter the case for the purposes of negotiating the Separation Agreement, attend mediation with your client concerning the Agreement, complete an Agreement and file it with the Court, and then withdraw. Example: you participate in a Family Law Court Program and enter a limited appearance on the day of Final Orders.)
